Through a diverse mix of sculptures, live-streaming videos, preserved insects, and technology-infused components, "Dark Loops" creates artificial ecosystems within the exhibition space. These installations blur the boundaries between the digital and physical worlds, encouraging contemplation on the complexities of our surroundings. Visitors will encounter an array of creatures and elements within Noble's artwork, ranging from bees and moths to reptiles and cocoons. These creations aim to challenge traditional taxidermy, offering a unique perspective on the interconnectedness of various elements within our environment. The exhibition's immersive experience extends through works like "Horizon" and "Infinite Bee," playing with the contrast between projected illusions and their real-life counterparts. These installations provoke introspection on how our perceptions are shaped in an increasingly digitized world. "Dark Loops" invites viewers to examine the intricate relationships defining our existence.
